${PWD} contains the directory you are working on, for instance
~/my_ports/my_thirdparty_application.
basename ${PWD} strips everything from that path up to (and including) the
slash, this is, it gives you "my_thirdparty_application" (without the
quotes).

The whole command is just to create a diff of your files against the repo
and calling the diff file with the same name as the directory you are in.
Notice that it adds the .diff to the file name.
